    About this ebook

    "The Lights of the Church and the Light of Science: Essay #6 from "Science and Hebrew Tradition"" by Thomas Henry Huxley
    As a man of science, Huxley often had difficulties reconciling with the staunch nature of the church and how it stunted progress. In this book, he takes aim at biblical figures and stories and examines them with a scientific lens so as to make sense of the apparent lapses in logic or showcase that where religion holds questions, science often seeks out answers.
